I have posted this in the local Kent pages, but it seems fairly quiet there, so I'm hoping to catch more traffic here!
We are moving to Tonbridge in the next couple of weeks. We managed to secure a rental in the Slade area from end of May. However, they are so oversubscribed that I don't think there is a chance of my Year4 DD being offered a place there. I need to choose which schools to put on my in-year application form. Of course Slade will be 1st choice and then Sussex Road, those 2 are the closest. But then I'm left to choose between Cage Green and St Stephens.
I know Cage Green is under special measures, but I have also heard good things about the school. I honestly don't know what to do. A friendly caring school is more important to me than an academic one - she is currently in a huge, academically brilliant, but very impersonal London school.
How about St Stephens? I have heard that there are issues with behaviour.
I would be so grateful to get some input from someone who knows either of the schools!
